new project
sooo my dad lent me his thunderbird last summer, and its been down here all summer, im not complaining because i actually love the car, and with the gas prices being high and it does have the 3.8 v6...........i think im going to take it, all i need to do is get it registered here in the states which shouldnt be a problem because it was made in the states
well let me start out here, its all stock it is a 1990, no rust that i can see, some rust on the wheels(dayton type wheels with a bunch of "wire spokes") almost new tires, it is a great summer car, sony xplod mp3 cd player, pioneer 4x6? speakers with 6x9's in the rear, need a new amp to listen to the radio tho............ and its on 215x75x15 i do believe
i need to bring it about 2 hours north to the canadian border to get the OK from the boarder patrol for it to be transfered to the states
will post some pics when i get a chance and find my camera
heres and older one with out the current wheels
and heres one with the blazer

Think gas is expensive there? Its $1.15 a litre here... There is 4.4 litres in a gallon... So my gas is about 5 bucks a gallon here... And I can see the damned Petrocan refinery from my house... Sheesh...

Do you mean an Imperial gallon? The gallons we use in the United States are 3.8 litres. Still, at $1.15CAD/litre that would convert to about $4.50USD/gallon which is quite a bit more than we're paying.

About the bird though, they used to have TBird Supercoupes that were faster than the 5.0 ones. They had a 3.8 supercharged I beleive. I like the spokey wheels too! Yo need to find a set of them tri-spinner blades for the center! Them Tbirds got a nice big truck for fitting some boom into.

try living in canada and watching all the oil go from here in Alberta to the states and then the more expensive gas comes back from the states...

Hmmmm... Didnt really know that. Ive grown up measuring in MM and CM, and weight in KG... It always bugged me when my dad would ask tell me to move something another 2 inches... I was thinking a gallon is like the motor oil jugs I buy, they are a "gallon" or 4.4 litres... Thats where I got the conversion from.
